This is a demo extension, which adds a simple News object and a plugin, that is built to show-case the slug field in custom records.

This extension was created to demo the removal of the cHash parameter when using Route Enhancers and Aspects in the Site Configuration.

Using the following configuration in the Site Configuration enables speaking URLs for detail pages of simple news without having a cHash in the URL.

routeEnhancers:
  MyNews:
    type: Extbase
    limitToPages: [13,14,15]
    extension: simplenews
    plugin: list
    routes:
      - { _controller: 'Main::list', routePath: '' }
      - { _controller: 'Main::detail', routePath: '/{news}' }
    aspects:
      news:
        type: PersistedAliasMapper
        tableName: 'tx_simplenews_domain_model_news'
        routeFieldName: 'slug'
